Harold Volkmer said "This is something that Bill Emerson worked on for about 10 years, and working together, he with a bridge in Cape Girardeau, I with a bridge in Hannibal, both across the Mississippi, and also with the Chouteau Bridge in Kansas City. Bill was instrumental in bringing this all about and this is a very appropriate designation in his honor. I can remember back when I was out at the Cape with others in April, his mom made me promise that when we got the bridge in Hannibal they would have a bridge in Cape Girardeau, and that is happening. And Bill is going to have the best view of anybody. As his mother said, "Bill will have the best view of this bridge than anybody else." Bill, good luck." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
